Hello,

as we are now on the road to the release I want to focus to more advanced pdf export.

The goal is to have a press ready output. With more detailed font, colour and page handling.
AsĀ  I understand our cairo renderer can output pdf but will never achieve this goal bcs cairo is simply not made for this. (Colour handling). So this task will end up with code taken from scribus or gegl or something.
as starting point for reviewing the features I collected screenshots from scribus and corel export dialogues here http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Export_To_Pdf_dialogs
However the converter will look like the export dialogue should be kept simple for regular users and more detailled for the experts. ....
If we can share some force into this topic over the next period would be perfect.

Also did we talk about "save vs export vs save copy as"?
I would see Inkscape "open and save" svg only and the other formats just "import and export".
Any thoughts?

Regards,

Adib.
